Ultimate Spider-Man is dead? But this whole Ultimate Universe is really just one big What If world and doesn’t affect the main Marvel line anyway. A second printing is on the way. ULTIMATE COMICS SPIDER-MAN #160 SECOND PRINTING VARIANT (MAY118207) Written by BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS Pencils and Cover by MARK BAGLEY FOC –...
That’s a picture of the SDCC Exclusive colors version of the Sentinel. It’s a massive 16” inches tall. The regular store sold version will be silver and purple. I expect the Hasbrotoyshop online store will sell these after the SDCC convention is over. This will be a hot item and worth getting.
http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=33099 A great article in the above link that looks back at the 100 issues that were the New Mutants run. I can honestly say even though I collected a lot of the X-books back then. This title I barely got into. Something about it did not hold my interest. The only time...
http://www.jimshooter.com/2011/07/debut-of-dazzler.html Great link above about the creation of comic book character Dazzler. Basically a lot of circumstances were in motion and she could have had a movie! It’s also worth mentioning her, because despite her kind of weird origin, she has stayed around as a fixture in Marvel Comics. Dazzler is a character...
I’m really liking the style of this Captain America International poster. What do you think?
This is the issue cover that introduced the world to Captain America, Bucky and the Red Skull. That image of Cap hitting Hitler really set the tone for the character and the book was not even opened yet. Just a powerful image and one worth sharing. Also notice the triangle shild and the...
I really hope that the Captain America movie does well. Marvel could use another hit. Plus with Green Lantern disappointing at the box office, and leaving a sour taste for both fans and critics, there is a need for a good superhero movie. The Captain America movie is the last big name movie...

Their quick articles, and not in depth but they provide good basics to get you thinking. So if you are interested in writing take a look.
http://www.marvelousnews.com/index.php?catid=23&itemid=14190 Look for it on DVD July 19th 2011 Not many people know the 1990s produced a terrible Captain America movie. It was pure B- style and even featured an Italian Red Skull. Yes, read that last line again. An actual Italian Red Skull! You know a movie strives for quality when they...
http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=32767 Joe Madureira drawing SPIDER-MAN! – Amazing he is one of may favorite artists and though he only got to draw Spidey a few times in the past, it has always been great. If he can stay on this book for a good run, he has the potential to really leave a lasting...
http://www.marvelousnews.com/index.php?catid=23&itemid=14169 Well it’s admitted the budget will be cheap. We know the director has minimal experience. This sounds like a rushed hack job movie made to make a quick buck and to keep the character movie rights. This movie sounds like it’s going to stink. No doubt their will be minimal story, a...
New Spider-Man game It looks great and it seems Anti-Venom is in it, but as a villain.
http://icv2.com/articles/news/20227.html X-men First Classes box office is approximately $56 Million. This is the lowest box office opening for a Marvel movie in years. Yet all the reviews I read are that this is one of the best superhero movies. And that it’s easily better then X-men 3 and the Wolverine Origins movie. Haven’t...
The X-men’s Rogue, who has the power to steal your powers, abilities and thoughts if she touches you. Yet looking at her, might it not be worth the risk?
Mary Jane Watson as drawn by J. Scott Campbell. So Spider-Man would give up a marriage to someone looking like this? Dude you have seriously got to be a big time loser to even think you’ll ever find someone better then this. So tell me is your name still Spider-Man or is it...
A great shot of Doctor Doom over a defeated Silver Surfer. Art by their co-creator Kirby. This is one Doctor you never want to meet.
Iron Man looking fantastic in his new costume. Plus this picture with the Gauntlet really looks cool.
Say what you want about Joe Quesada but he can draw great and this Spider-Man picture is an example of why he has so many fans.
Of the Marvel made movies (not the ones other companies have the movie rights to) but rather the in-house run Marvel ones. I’d put Thor right after Iron Man 1 in quality. It’s a good solid movie and I had fun watching it. It’s defiantly better then Iron Man 2 and the recent...
I must admit the one thing this Spider-Man movie has over it’s predecessor is that the leading lady is MUCH better looking. I mean Emma Stone is really hot. But then again I have since the original Spider-Man movie stuck by my decision that Kristen Dunst was the wrong choice for Mary Jane...
Actually I don’t have much faith in Whedon as a director. He DOES NOT know how to pace or coordinate action well. He’s good with talking heads segments. But that does not make a great director, much less for an action film. And a property like Avengers needs a good balance of action....
Weapon X video A great Wolverine story that stands the test of time. It’s a great read with great art. If you haven’t picked it up yet, you should. It’s that good.
Essential Punisher 2 Review Essential Punisher 2 – Great issue worth getting. Whilce Portacio’s Punisher run all in one volume. Great art with great stories. And a very affordable price. Can’t go wrong with that.
Ultimate Spider-Man will get a new costume. And the highlight of it appears to be a web pattern in red. Now check out this Ditko cover from Amazing Spider-Man 28 from the year 1965. The highlight of it is red webbing on a black lighted costume. The Ultimate idea may be nice, but...
http://spinoff.comicbookresources.com/2011/04/08/x-men-effects-artist-tim-miller-tapped-to-direct-deadpool/ The Deadpool movie took another step along the way by hiring Tim Miller, who was an effects artist in the first X-men movie. I think by hiring a new director with no experience in that field, makes for a bad sign that this movie will actually be any good. It looks like...
